Today’s mid-day meal was one heck of an odd combination.
Over the weekend I made Ryan a grilled cheese and refried bean sandwich that he affectionately dubbed a “ghetto grilled cheese.” It was quite an unusual combination, but he also said it was quite tasty. That’s all that matters, right?
Since my first attempt at a refried bean sandwich was a success, I used the protein-packed lil’ suckers in another sandwich for myself this afternoon.
I bring you a veggie bacon and refried bean sandwich!
Bacon 'n' Beans
What's Not to Love?
On the side, I included fresh produce in the form of grape tomatoes, cucumber slices and a small bowl of summer berries.
Looks Like Christmas

In All Its Glory
Protein, veggies, fruit, whole grains.

A Smile-Inducing Giveaway
When I was contacted by Smile.ly about sampling Snikiddy snacks, a line of all-natural snack foods, made with simple, wholesome and real ingredients, I jumped at the chance!
I received a bag of Snikiddy cheddar cheese fries in the mail yesterday, and meant to save them to enjoy in my lunch today. Unfortunately if you put the word “cheese” and the word “fries,” in the same sentence, my self control goes out the window.
Snikiddy Baked Cheddar Cheese Fries
This sample was enjoyed as a pre-dinner (gluten-free!) treat. 😉
Check Out the Cheesiness
I really enjoyed the intense cheese flavor of the fries and appreciated the fact that I understood every ingredient listed on the packaging (can’t say the same for Cheeto’s, unfortunately). I also loved the amount of fries included in the bag, as I often think bags of chips have portion sizes that would only satisfy an ant.
Something about the smell of these cheesey fries intrigued Sadie and she howled until I gave her two to try.
"Gimmeeeeee!"
Sadie said they were delicious, but she’s not exactly a tough critic. 😉
Now it’s your turn to enjoy the cheesy deliciousness!
Three of you will win samples of Snikiddy snacks.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post, telling me about your favorite dish that includes cheese.
For an extra entry, you may tweet about this giveaway on Twitter and create a separate comment below telling me that you did so.
The winners will be randomly selected and announced tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck!!!

Can my favorite dish just be cheese? Alone? Brie preferably! 🙂 otherwise, pizza for sure!
Thanks for putting the link to the fitsugar.com- I have no idea why I have never been to that site before..i love it!
Favorite cheese dish…mmm….Mac & cheese for sure- only Kraft though 😀
Favorite cheese dish? Too easy..veggie pzza!
Since I’m lactose intolerant, I figured I use my entry as an entry for Sadie. If I win my prize goes to Sadie (and her mom of course), and I’m gonna go ahead and guess her favorite cheese dish is a cheeseburger with extra cheese :p(if that counts)
cutest giveaway entry ever. 🙂
My favorite cheese dish is definately Macaroni and Cheese! Can’t ever go wrong with that 😉
My favorite cheese dish is eggplant parm w/lots of gooey mozarella please 🙂
What isn’t good with cheese?!?! My fave quick dish to make at home is ww tortilla with refried beans, enchilada sauce, and cheese.
Cheeeesey pizza or lasagne never fails to brighten me up! Sometimes I just enjoy plain crackers and cheese too.
How could I pick just one?? Aside from, of course, mac and cheese and chips and queso, my fave is a grilled cheese sandwich with extra cheese sprinkled on the outside (that’s right, the OUTSIDE) of the bread, giving it even more of a deliciously super cheesy flavor 🙂 Mmm, my mouth is now watering!
Scrambled eggs and cheese! I love cooking the cheese until it gets kinda chewy.. yum!
I don’t think I have a fav dish that doesn’t include cheese…but margharita pizza is up there along with grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in tomato soup!
My fav dish with cheese would have to be pizza of course! Any veggie pizza with lots of fresh mozzarella!
I love a veggie filled lasagna loaded with cheese!

Hmmm, my favorite cheesy dish is baked pasta with goat cheese.
Flavor blasted cheddar cheese goldfish crackers!
In any way, shape or form is how I enjoy cheese. 🙂
I’m a firm believer that cheese can be enjoyed on anything and at anytime of the day. However, my big weakness and favorite way to enjoy the cheesy goodness is in the form of nachos.
I would have to say plain ole cheese pizza. 🙂 Love the pic of Saddie by the way!
Mmmmm! I’d have to say a cheesy pizza or on nachos 🙂 Not the healthiest but you asked for favorite, right? 😉
I love quesadillas w/ low-fat mozzarella & other fillings. For a more indulgent treat, Irish cheese with anything!
gosh I love cheese – what a tough Q! I think my fav cheese dish is good old mac n cheese. Perhaps because its a childhood favorite with fond memories 😀
Laughing Cow light cheese in eggbeaters
Almost anything with cheese but I love Cheese Quesadilla’s or Appels with some Brie.
I love Pioneer Women’s macaroni and cheese! The best macaroni ever!
FAVORITE cheese dish??? Cheese is good on everything!! I guess I would have to say mac n cheese…it is a classic.
i have a special place in my heart for ALL cheese:
an all time comfort food meal for me (may sound gross ) but… it is a toasted bagel with a thin spread of light mayo and then covered in melted american cheese! YUMM im’ drooling just thinking of it
chili rellenos – cheese stuffed peppers that are deep fried then topped with a mild salsa!!! favorite mexican dish ever!
I love cheese… in many forms. But I think I’m a fan of the classics… so my favorite cheesie meals would have to be either Pizza or Macaroni and Cheese.
mmm I love baked brie…but cheese in a recipe would have to be my mom’s homemade mac and cheese. AMAZING I tell ya!
I also tweeted about this giveaway 🙂
there’s nothing like a wrap or sandwich with ham/turkey and cheese – all melty and gooey
my favorite dish that includes cheese is lasagna! And my 22 month old LOVES the snikiddy snacks! Such a better option than cheetos or goldfish.
My favorite cheese dish is grilled cheese with basil and tomatoes…yum! I would love to try the snikiddy snacks because I love goldfish, cheezits, cheetos…
Quesadillas, pizza, and crackers with cheese! And ooey gooey nachos. And cheesecake. I’m not too particular about dairy…anything will do!
I’m with the others, definitely just cheese. Especially walking around Fresh Market and sampling (ahem- almost stealing) all their samples. Also, goldfish and quesadillas!
Quesadillas! YUM!!
My favorite dish with cheese in it would have to be the classic macaroni and cheese (and I like the blue box-shameful)
Favority chesse dish…that’s easy. I LOVE salsa mixed with velveeta. Not the healthiest, but it sure is tasty! Hopefully I can come up with a healthier version so I can enjoy this treat more often.

My favorite cheesy snack is defiantly a warm, gooey quesadilla! Made with whole wheat tortillas, ofcourse (;
I can’t decide between pizza and nachos!!!!! Bacon + refried beans = genious!
